OmPowered Yoga

Maria brings a warm, curious and supportive interest for each of us in her classes. She customizes our yoga practice to what our class needs each day. Her understanding of yoga postures, and their spiritual connection and healing power is vast so each class is an intentional and fresh experience for our body, mind and soul. Her class connects us to ourselves, one another and the world, and brings resilience, adaptability, strength, balance and peace. I especially love the awareness and assurance it gives me for my body and life.

Maria leads a wonderful, healing yoga practice, beautifully suited to where each student is now - there is no pressure, no judgement. She is a very knowledgeable and experienced teacher. I am getting so much more from this class than I could have expected at the start just a few months ago. Not only better physical health at this start of retirement (from work that kept my brain very active, but my body too sedentary for too long), but also in ways of thinking and being. I am so energized to keep learning and doing more and it is a joy to go to each class. She offers some in-person and some by Zoom, so that people can fit this into their days in they way they need. Maria also pairs yoga practice with tapping, which was new to me, but I have approached it with an open mind. This also has provided me subtle and also a few specific direct benefits. If you are looking for a practice that helps give you tools to live and feel better physically and emotionally, I highly encourage you to contact Maria and see if her class and graceful method will work for you.

Update Jan 2024: After experiencing the benefits of tapping, which I learned in Maria's yoga class to calm stress and to help change perspective, I did a series of private EFT sessions with Maria to help in some areas of personal goals where I felt blocked. I found this process very illuminating and very helpful. With Maria leading me through each session, I discovered some things long forgotten or that I thought were far behind me - but which were actually still present in the way I was thinking about and treating myself. After the EFT sessions, and continuing to use some new tools that it provided, I now find myself in the best personal emotional place that I have been in for many years. I became - and have been able to remain - kinder to myself, which is also showing outwardly in that some close to me have also noticed a positive change. I am looking forward to more. I am so grateful for the benefits of regular yoga practice and what I have learned through EFT with Maria's expert support. I highly recommend both her yoga classes and her sincerely caring and capable application of EFT.

Maria makes her class YOUR yoga class. I'm restarting yoga, and have some new restrictions and flexibility to regain, and Maria has lots of appreciated modifications and encouragement, and no judgement! I feel so good after one of her classes, both inside and out! Maria is an awesome yoga instructor. :)

Maria and OmPowered Yoga are an integral part of my personal goal of living a healthy, balanced, and happy life. It's much more than a yoga class -- Maria personalizes everything about her classes. She has not only created a beautiful environment in which to practice, but has also built an engaging community of individuals that I am lucky enough to call friends!

Maria is an awesome yoga teacher. I have been going to her in home yoga studiio for 3 years and recommend you check her out! Even if you are a beginner, she adjusts for all levels. Rates are good....She creates a very relaxed atmosphere, positivity, and community. Before meeting Maria I did not even like yoga. :-)
